Kevin Hart was feelin' it Friday night at Usher's Vegas concert. Kev was showing off his moves with wife Eniko Parrish during the charity concert for HartBeat at the Cosmopolitan on the Strip. It's the 4th annual festival, held during Labor Day Weekend, featuring comedy shows including a set by Dave Chappelle. Kevin is the driving force behind HeartBeat, which benefits charities that work to improve the quality of life for children who have been diagnosed with cancer.
Kevin Hart opened up about cheating last year, and said he wouldn't do it ... not because it's wrong, but because the chances are he'd get caught. It's pretty stunning in the wake of Kevin's claim he's being extorted over video showing him and a woman getting super cozy and another video which makes it appear a sexual encounter is about to go down. Quick to point out ... in the prelude to sex video you don't see Kevin. Hart told The Breakfast Club in January, 2016, social media combined with thots makes cheating a sexual form of Russian Roulette. As we reported, Kevin has contacted cops claiming someone has tried to extort him with the video. He's not denying its him in some of the various clips.
Kevin Hart is getting out in front of a messy situation by apologizing publicly to his wife and kids, and TMZ has learned it's all over a video that looks like he's cheating. Kevin profusely apologized to his pregnant wife, Eniko Parrish, and his kids on Instagram Saturday ... saying he recently made some mistakes he deeply regrets. Sources tell TMZ a woman has allegedly demanded money from Kevin after shooting a video with him in which Kevin and the woman are engaged in "sexually suggestive" conduct. We are told it is NOT a sex tape, but looks like it is a prelude to sex. We're told that at a point in the tape when the action is the heaviest, you cannot actually see Kevin. A rep for Kevin tells us ... "Someone tried to set Kevin up in a failed extortion attempt. As law enforcement is involved, we cannot comment further as it could affect the investigation."
Rihanna is the latest celeb to get swatted ... and TMZ has learned it's happening right now. Law enforcement sources tell us ... a call came in to 911 claiming 2 armed men were inside the Pacific Palisades house and someone was shot. LAPD is on scene and we're told they're confident it's yet another swatting call. As we reported ... the latest swatting victims appear to have been targeted by the celebrity hackers who pilfered financial information from Michelle Obama, Kim Kardashian, Tom Cruise, Britney Spears, Beyonce and others.
The woman accusing Kim Porter -- Diddy's baby mama -- of being a hard-core druggie who exposed her kids to marijuana and cocaine is a fraud who is pissed off because she got the ax ... this according to sources close to Kim Our sources say ... former nanny Dawn Drago is a convicted shoplifter -- something she didn't disclose on her employment application. But more to the point, we're told she's extremely bitter because she was fired for falsifying time sheets. We're told Kim is adamant ... Drago's drug claims are completely false and the lawsuit is retaliation for getting 86'd. A rep from the law firm representing Drago tells TMZ, the shoplifting conviction is irrelevant "because she was not working at a shop." That's the quote. We don't understand it either.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was off the mark in his scathing critique of "The Bachelor," because love blossoms the same way on TV as it does in real life ... so says a contestant. We got "Bachelor in Paradise" star Jared Haibon -- who's been on 2 seasons of "BIP" and 1 season of "The Bachelorette" -- and he says the idea that people aren't their true selves on the reality shows mirrors what happens with everyone on a date ... they put on a good but sometimes false face. Jared's got a point ... but it seems like Kareem was getting at something a lot deeper than being phony for the cameras. Kareem rails on the shows, saying it portrays "cartoonish physical and mental restrictions" on relationships. He also comes close to calling the shows racist, saying, "If you're black ... you're usually kept around as a courtesy for a few weeks before being ejected."
